About
One-on-one personal training is a private session with a qualified strength and conditioning coach at a frequency that best suits you.
When you want to see the best results in the shortest amount of time you’ll want to work with your very own Personal Trainer. You can get in shape with a small group Personal Training program or a partner session, however the speed in which you can transform your body won’t be the same as it will be with one-on-one coaching.
Why one-on-one?
Personalised attention
With one-on-one Personal training you receive hands-on instruction with your form and technique. Everyone likes to be pushed and motivated a little differently so when you’re with your own Personal Coach, he/she can solely focus on you and how to push you for optimal results.
Individualised exercises
The exercises that you will be performing are personalised to your specific needs. This is something to take into consideration when choosing between small group, partner and one-on-one Personal training. Personalisation with exercise prescription becomes very important with people who have muscle imbalances and specific needs.
Flexibility with appointments
Because one-on-one Personal training sessions are appointment based private sessions you’ll have more flexibility with attending workouts. If you travel frequently or have a job that requires flexibility with appointment scheduling, you’ll be much better suited to a one-on-one training package.
Speed in seeing results
Working out in a private atmosphere means that your coach will personalise your rate of progression. The resistance training provided in a one-on-one program is superior to any other type of training. You’ll see faster results when your coach has the ability to assign the appropriate intensity at each workout. It’s difficult using heavier workloads in a small group environment because of the lack of a spotter.
The bottom line
When you want to see the best results in the shortest amount of time (wedding coming up, chronic pain problem etc) you’ll want to work with your very own Personal Trainer. You can get in shape with a small group Personal Training program or a partner session, however the speed in which you can transform your body won’t be the same as it will be with one-on-one coaching.
Matt is the best at what he does, I’ve been fortunate enough to work with him over the years and the energy he brings to each session is like no other coach I have ever had.

Sometimes in pro football strength training doesn't get the priority it should. Knowing the importance of strength and conditioning I contacted Matt and the team at Hammer and together we implemented a great program for the off season which got in great shape for my best season as a professional footballer. Can't thank them enough.

I have been training with these guys for about two years now and they are tremendous. All are tertiary trained and there is strong science behind their programming which is always tailored to individual needs. During the time I have trained with them I have advanced both my overall strength and technique which has worked well to keep me injury free. The business has evolved over the last two years and Matt and team are continually looking for ways to improve the client experience. Their new Strength and Conditioning program is the right mix of challenge and support and great value for money. Spending less than a $100 per week for personalised attention in a group strength environment is a great investment in your healthy future. Just give them a go.

When it comes to personal training and coaching there are loads of options out there but Hammer Athletic really are the best. The highly credentialed coaching team was the main reason I chose to attend the 2017 Hammer coaching program. Their training programs have not only allowed me to improve my knowledge and abilities as an athlete but also as a coach. Training at Hammer is always motivating and there is never a dull moment. I would definitely recommend to anyone!

The Hammer Athletic Coaching Clinic was an invaluable practical and theoretical experience. During the 6-week clinic, I improved my knowledge around exercise prescription and periodisation which were areas I lacked in after my completion of my Physiotherapy course. Now I have the confidence to apply these principles to all my patients. The coaching clinic is practical, evidence based and a bit of fun. Anyone coach wanting to further knowledge about strength and conditioning and sport science should get involved.
